Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400.
- In a large bowl, whisk the dry ingredients together.
- Make a well in the center and add the buttermilk and the vegetable oil.
- Mix well with a spatula. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead 10-12 times until the dough just holds together. Form into a ball and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 40 minutes at 400 degrees.
- Remove from the oven and cool slightly. Serve warm.
Notes
- This is a no yeast recipe and does not require time to allow the dough to rise.
- Always knead bread on a lightly floured surface so that the dough doesn't stick.
- Cut the X on the top of the loaf about ½ an inch thick, this creates a craggy mountain range of delicious crunch.
- Cool on a wire rack if possible to allow the bread to cool as quickly as possible. As a heavy loaf, it takes a while to cool.
- There is no way to substitute white flour for the wheat germ wheat flour.
- If you thump the cooled loaf, you'll notice that it makes a hollow sound.
- The baking time for me was exactly 40 minutes every single time.
- You can bake in a loaf pan if needed but it is easiest to simply form a ball for this easy recipe.
